does it understand what you are saying most of the time

I can't answer this one because a message showed up saying "Processor speed is inadequate for the Dragon Naturally Speaking" when I tried to download the appropriate software.

Yes, but I prefer to use 'audio input' by hitting the Microphone button, then speak into it. It will type for you. I think it works well, but does take a little practice. ie: end of sentence, say 'period', or comma (where needed), of say question mark, etc.

Yes, if they can be made to understand how to use it. But this isn't necessary. You can direct the unit to translate their response back into English. They will have to talk slowly and clearly.

Yes.....it does help with clarity particularly with some stations that appear to have a lot of background noise to the point where it's difficult to distinguish the words being said.

YES! I use it all the time when I'm trying to make myself understood with my two Chinese students. But, you do need to type in the English word or phrase. It then shows the Chinese and will say it.

My husband talks with it. It's not super easy to understand him, but he gets his point across.

it only records what it "hears". I don't know how you would get both sides of the conversation clearly.

No, it does to print out the language. Only speaks the language out loud for you to hear & displays it on the screen for you to see. :)

No, it doesn't. This is a very basic phone, and it's difficult for people to hear what you are saying. I bought this phone while I was waiting for a smart phone to arrive. If you want a basic phone there are others much easier to manipulate and easier to speak from. It's a weird set up. I would not recommend it.

Unfortunately, it don't. My biggest problem was no one could hear what I was saying when I spoke with this particular case. I had to always take it out of the case to talk, which defeated the purpose of Having a case. I sent mine back for a refund.

it seems like it would have language preference, but I honestly can't remember. I'm sorry. I DO remember that is DOES have audio. Make sure you take it out of your car or it will get stolen. Ours got stolen.

It works great for us. We use it all the time when talking long distance to family members. You do have to let people finish their sentences, because there's a slight lag, and if one of you start talking, you each cut each other off, and you end up asking them to repeat what they said. Other than learning to hesitate a nano-second, it works very well.

there is a switch on the back that has 3 modes on trial and off...you have it in trial mode...switch it to the on mode and you will hear many phrases ;)

Yes it does. The software provided has a voice preview feature that allows you to hear yourself talking.

I would think so. It easily picks up differences in voice levels even at conversational volumes. Although you won't get any sort of continuous read out as you have to depress a button for it to take a reading if I recall.

the response is fast like 5 to 10 seconds later of what you say, it only works when you say something to Pete up close. if you do not interact with Pete, and then you do it does work as long as the on switch is on.
